Google has opted to delay the launch of its Nexus Q streaming media player. The company originally announced the orb-shaped entertainment device at its Google I/O conference in San Francisco in June. The Nexus Q runs the Android system and can only be controlled by users with Android smartphones or tablets. It connects to Google Play, the company’s digital content hub, to stream content from the cloud. Google’s attempt to work its way into consumer living rooms was met with initial excitement, but early reviews of the product were generally lackluster.
